This is the Internet. We're All Grifters Here.

There's a secret about the internet that nobody wants to talk about.

We're all selling something.

Even this post. Even me.

Some pretend they're different. Special. Above the game.

They're not.

The internet turned attention into currency, and we're all merchants now. Trading words for clicks. Stories for subscriptions. Vulnerability for trust.

"Join my community."
"Buy my course."
"Subscribe to my newsletter."
"...please, just like me."

The language changes but the foundation remains the same: capture attention, build trust, convert trust into survival.

Here's the truth.

The internet didn't make us all marketers. It revealed that we always were. Every interaction is a transaction. Every piece of content a sales pitch. Every platform a marketplace.

The winners aren't those who reject this reality. They're the ones who embrace it and choose to sell something real. Something valuable. Something that outlasts the transaction.

The internet remembers everything. Your digital footprint becomes your legacy. Your transactions become your reputation.

So sell. But sell something worth buying.

That's the only sustainable game in a grifter's paradise.
